capturing
the warm colors and stripes from the mid century interior with drapes
->☽✧-Δ-✧☾<-
Drapes so
easy to make at $4 a meter ($32 total for 8 meters of awesome color and
texture) I used a woven rough textile for I wanted the light to catch through
like a golden rainbow. I’d never sewn curtains before and although I was a
little slap dash with some messy stitching they turned out grand... find a
fabric you like and drape away. From Chapter ‘Windows’ (Link)

✧☾ Directions ☽✧
... Sew a
tiny hem on length tops and bottoms of all four panels
... Drape
over a panel to ascertain length to floor desire with a fold over at top over
the curtain rod
... Mark
with pins at top fold, use to measure against other 3 panels and do the same thing
... Sew the
folds down
... Mow pin
the 2 inch strips to top of each panel (1 every 3 inches) leaving a small gap to top which will create a ruffle
... Sew a
couple of centimeters top and bottom to form a half loop in which the rod will
slide through
... Cut out
excess strips between rod loops to end up with sewn strips in which the rods
can be fed through to hold up the panels
... Cut
away any stray threads
(Sewing
note – so forward and back every time a new hem is started to secure before
sewing the length)
... Hang
